The farmer demonstrated how a cover crop roller works and discussed planting green.<\/p>\r\n<p>WCCD also held two pasture walks and an agricultural winter meeting as part of the grant.<\/p>\r\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/pacd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/epa_logo-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24933 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/pacd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/epa_logo-2-275x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"85\" height=\"93\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pacd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/epa_logo-2-275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/pacd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/epa_logo-2.jpg 336w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 85px) 100vw, 85px\" \/><\/a>Financial and other support for this project is provided by the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, Inc. through a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On September 27, 2022, Washington County Conservation District (WCCD) hosted an evening crop walk at the Carter Family Farm.
